(Created page with "The '''Dimensional Consciousness Maximizer''', or '''D.C.M.''', was a device built in the 38167th Universe by Laura Drake (38167th Universe) in 1973 after she and her friend Jenny Everton began to suspect Jenny's true nature as an interdimensional being. == Nature == Resembling a hairdresser's chair, the D.C.M. allowed whoever sat in it to temporarily connect with the minds of 999 of their nearest counterparts in the Multiverse.

After creating and using it to awaken [[Jenny Everton|Jenny]]'s powers, [[Laura Drake (38167th Universe)|Laura Drake]] tried it on herself, quickly becoming addicted to the ability to draw knowledge and skills from other, more accomplished versions of herself. Jenny was aware of this and grew concerned, particularly because some of the alternative Lauras were villainous and were influencing her Laura down a dangerous path. Jenny convinced Laura to starting testing it out on other acquaintances of theirs instead, rechanneling her curiosity. The first person they tried it on was Jenny's sister, not realising until it was too late that this irreversibly turned her into an incarnation of [[Jenny Nowhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Nowhere]]. | After creating and using it to awaken [[Jenny Everton|Jenny]]'s powers, [[Laura Drake (38167th Universe)|Laura Drake]] tried it on herself, quickly becoming addicted to the ability to draw knowledge and skills from other, more accomplished versions of herself.

Years later, the vengeful Nowhere improved on Laura's D.C.M. to build the [[Identity Dispersal System]], which functioned similarly but could connect the user to ''anyone''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> 999 closest counterparts, rather than just the user's own. She planned to use this to turn people, most readily [[Sophie Everytime (38167th Universe)|Sophie Everytime]], into versions of Jenny Nowhere, but this did not work as expected on Sophie due to her having enough mental fortitude to escape erasure, and jump into Nowhere's body just as Nowhere jumped into hers. Before long, Nowhere admitted defeat and agreed to switch back before leaving, | Years later, the vengeful Nowhere improved on Laura's D.C.M. to build the [[Identity Dispersal System]], which functioned similarly but could connect the user to ''anyone''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> 999 closest counterparts, rather than just the user's own.
